Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I honestly have no idea how this book is getting the glowing 5-star comments of other reviews.
I'm interested in getting started in bodybuilding at home -- I have a set of free weights and was looking for recommended excercises, how to do them, etc. Based on the glowing recommendations of this book, I got it. It's just terrible.
It gives a little bit of weight lifting advice: a list of recommended exercises, with NO DESCRIPTION of what they are. For example, it says to to do a "donkey calf raise" but doesn't describe it.
It does have advice like (literally) "don't spit in the drinking fountain at the gym." I didn't need that particular bit.
It's very repetitive in the little bit of advice it does give -- it says to eat lots of skinless chicken breasts in about 5 different places.
I don't know who would find this book useful. Maybe if you're really into lifting, and want a psych book to help along, you could find it useful. In any case, it is absolutely useless for beginners.
